Halloween/Thanksgiving skirt.

While making the blocks for Alex, I thought I would sew some of the girls skirts from a pattern I got from the same blog, Sew Like My Mom.  Did I mention how much I love this blog?  When I went to the fabric store, I ended up finding the exact same fabric she use. How cool!!  I love the fabric because I think it works for both holidays and with them so close together it's perfect.   The pattern she used is so easy and the length is perfect for Re. Hopefully she will be able to wear it next year.

So the blog said she was able to whip these out in 30 min.  Clearly she has been doing this for a long time. I had to measure, iron, sew on rick rack, sew a line, iron, then fold and measure bottom hem line, iron bottom, sew double line, fold and measure top hem line, iron top, sew line, thread elastic, sew together(no picture of this step, so did my best), finish off.

I know it sound like a lot, but it was really easy, just time consuming. Took me about 2 hours on Re's skirt and the rest were a little over an hour.  Thank goodness there were pictures on her website.  OMG, I don't think I would have attempted this without them.

Here's the finished product.  What do you think?  Thoughts?  Need a skirt made????
